Hi,
I cannot use a single form for my document because I have yet another form nested in-between the two forms. Please see the illustration below:
<f:view>
<h:form id="parent_form1">
<h:inputText id="name" value="#{backingBean.var1}"/>
</h:form>
<h:form id="child_form">
<h:inputText id="child_component" value="#{childBean.var1}"/>
<h:commandButton value="ADD" action=""/>
</h:form>
<h:form id="parent_form2">
<h:inputText id="address" value="#{backingBean.var2}"/>
<h:commandButton value="SAVE" action=""/>
</h:form>
</f:view>
The child form is independent of the two parent forms and is the child section has to be nested in-between the parent forms due to user-requirement. The save button has to save all the parent components. You have any more idea on this?
